BIRTHDAY PARTY REDUX

Grandma and Grandpa are here visiting to celebrate my birthday. First, we went to Powell’s book store where I got a book about, duh, airplanes. After going out to lunch and driving the hills of Portland, we came home and I got birthday celebration #2! Grandma and Grandpa got me a cool car puzzle and my very own camera. I was taking pictures all over the place!

HANUKKAH NIGHTS

Well, Hanukkah is all over now. And I made a KILLING on airline planes! Here’s Night 3: Boeing 787.

Then, Night 4: United Airlines.

Nights 5, 6, and 7 all followed the same pattern. But now I bring you to Night 8…

Whaaaaat? A bike??? Well, I loved that, too, and will practice inside until spring so I can Skuut my heart out once the sun comes back. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for a fun Hanukkah!

2017

Today, Mommy continued her quest to take a family picture every New Year’s Day. I was incredibly cooperative and allowed two takes. That’s it! How do you think we compare to last year?

Here I am as my own body double so Mommy could set up the tripod right.

THE HAUL

With Christmas and Hanukkah happening at the same time this year, the world is raining down presents! (And I’m totally okay with that.) I started the morning by just diving right in.

After a while, I decided I wanted to open presents in the kitchen…

Opening a ton of awesome presents is HARD WORK.

Chubs got a couple of presents, too. But he was most interested in the rare Oregon sunbeam.

Then at sundown, we lit the firetruck menorah. (Remember when I liked firetrucks??)

Thank you, everyone, for all of the planes, plane books, plane stickers, plane paraphernalia, and money to buy more planes! You know me well.
